"If Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name on it." -Sen. Bob Menendez

"Let's remind ourselves of the stated purpose of our negotiations with Iran: Simply put, it was to dismantle all — or significant parts — of Iran's illicit nuclear infrastructure to ensure that it would not have nuclear weapons capability at any time. Not shrink its infrastructure."
